Prediciting MMOs nowadays to go f2p eventually doesn't give one Nostradamus status......In fact the greater talent is prediciting which ones in a couple years will still be p2p......

NO it's not... But at the time everyone here told me I was crazy saying TERA would go F2P because of the BHS picking Frogster as EU publisher and EME using DIgital River (cash-shop handler for most F2P games) as payment processor. Looks like you guys (the nay-sayers at the time) need to see things in their right perspective.

Also note to add: October 2010 was 15 months before launch... EME did a nice job preparing for F2P before launch :D

Predicting that an X MMO will go F2P is same as throwing poop on the wall..sooner or later some of it is going to stick. It may or may not go completely F2P in coming months but you are still jumping the gun with 'told you so'.

Would I still have to request my sub to be terminated if I subscribed to the game? - I still can't really understand how the game works in this regard. - There isnt a button to cancel my sub, I have to go and make a ticket for them to do it?

How can you compare Tera to Raiderz? lol Omg they are worlds apart in game play and looks... Tera Looks amazing.....Alot more Dept in it. Tera should not go f2p. I have always not liked games that went from p2p to f2p. There are only maybe a few that got alot better and kepted on putting out updates for the game. it just seems like the quality of the new content that comes out with alot of f2p games aren't really good....

Game Developers need to realize that we play alot of games at once. When a game first comes out it will not have alot of sub's anymore. They to wait atleast a year or 2 before they can say the game is doing good or not..... It takes time for new games to catch up in content wise to other games that have been out for years. Thats one of the biggest failurs game companies make. They think that if they put alot of moreny into the game that it should make alot of money right out the gate. Thats not gonna happen anymore.... game companies these days are always putting out games to earier...You really can't blame the Devs here its really the people thats backing there company up. The investors. They want a fast turn around and think that they can make alot of money compared to other games that have been out for years.

This is true, they really aren't the same.

It's probably just a ploy by those people who love F2P to get everyone to try it...

I only downloaded it due to everyone saying it's just as good if not better than TERA, I couldn't last more than 45 minutes in the game.

One race, clunkier combat, skills missing stationary PvE mobs, couldnt imagine how much would miss in PvP, given even TERA has missing problems in PvP, but certainly not in PvE. Graphics, animations, sounds, everything is just a half-assed version of TERA.

Wonder what the impact is going to be due to all this free to play stuff? I tried swtor free to play and just knowing how gimped the experience, I can't get into it, and the same goes here.... I know at least it gives you a good look at the game before you spend money, but personally I'm just not motivated for these anymore with all of these sub, buy to play, pay to win, item mall, ..... Blah blah blah ..... It just stinks and its very unatractive.

I honestly can't see what should be p2p, B2P or f2p anymore.. I think the mistake is PRICING, yes a steady flow of cash is good to keep a business afloat but why do all these publishers and devs think there game is worth $15 a month.. Why can't someone start or try a different pricing structure.. Where is the $2, 5 or $10 a month pricing.. Most go f2p after awhile, that will in turn overcrowd the f2p segment as it is in Korea and other parts.. Is that the market most of us want to see?

Is the client streaming or do I have to DL all 20GB's at once? I've been on the fence about TERA for a while, and I figure this is a great oppourtunity to try it, but with having a max DL speed of 600KB/s, 20GB is quite a bit of time to find out that I dislike a game.
